With summer upon us we're sure you're just dying to get your boat and jet skis out onto the lake! However, it is very important to do thorough safety checks before hitting the water. Overlooked damages to your boat could not only lead to the destruction of your watercraft, but also be a health risk.
Watercraft Experts At Their Finest
Here’s one example of how Safeco’s watercraft experts can make a difference.
Did you know that many inboard boat claims are due to rudder and propeller damage caused by hitting a submerged object such as a rock, reef or jetty? Well, our watercraft experts do.
They also know that, besides visual damage to the propeller and rudder, the propeller shaft can appear undamaged but be slightly bent or out of alignment. A propeller shaft that is slightly bent or out of alignment can cause severe damage and wear on strut and transmission bearings.
When a claim includes rudder and propeller damage, Safeco® Watercraft adjusters ask the repair shops to check for damage to the propeller shaft and stuffing box – a smart move that can prevent problems for your customers later on.
Now, test your knowledge – just for fun!
